Tariff Reform.

WASHINGTON. Feb, Am inquiry from
the friends of Mr.. Randall as to whether
they could count on the support of their
tariff and revenue bill by the Morrison
Democrats was discussed at some length at
a conference of the last named faction held
last night. 1t was finally decided that an
answer should be made to the effect that
the tariff reform Democrats were so anxious
to redeem their pledges to the people made
at the Chicago convention, that they would
support any measure looking to the reform
of the tariff laws which seemed to be reas-
enable IN its terms. 1t was not deemed adj
visable to make the reply more specific at

loud threats, the open board of trade di-
rectors at their meeting this afternoon, did
nothing in retaliation against the big board
for disciplining the members of the latter
Organization for trading in ''puts" and
ftscalls' in the open board. The action was
confined to hurting invectives at the direct
ors of the big board for their course in the
matter. Legal authority had been con-
suited, and it was thought best not to in
woke the aid of the law in deciding the iur-
isdiction over gambling transactions which
the law has decided puts" and ''calls' to
be. If the aid of the courts was called in
it was feared the upshot of affairs would

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 2.-As the
hour for holding the joint convention of the
legislature approached to-day, the capitol
was filled with interested people, all of
whom seemed to think the deadlock would
certainly be broken. The senate at 10
o'clock proceeded to the hall of the house
and the sixteenth ballot was begun. The
roll-cali OF the senate developed nothing
ana the call of the house proceeded without
interruption, until the name of Robinson
was reached, when that gentleman rose and
made statement of the agreement entered
INTO by himself and Messrs. Gates, Glover
and Mackey to secure the election of Mr..
Allen. He added that he was now con-
vlnced that 1t was hopeless to endeavor to
elect, as senator. any man not member of
one OF the two great political parties, and
as his constituents were urgent in their de-
nandS, he had decided to cast his ballot for
David Turpie. This announcement was
greeted with wild enthusiasm from the
Democrats. MessrS. Gates, Glover and
Mackey, Republican labor members. then
made brief explanations and cast their bal
lots for Harrison, the vote standing: Tuc-
pie rs, Harrison IA. In the senate Turpie
received 80, Harrison IS: Ill the house, Tur-
pie "A, Harrison Sc. Immediately on the
termination of the call of tine house roll,
Speaker Sayre announced that there
WAS NO ELECTION,
and passed the figures to President Smith,
of the senate, whose privilege it is, under
the agreement, to announce the total vote,
and he at once called out that David Turpie
had been elected senator of the United
States. Speaker Sayre declared President
Smith was an usurper and had no right to
make such an announcement as president
of the joint convention, but the speakers
remarks were unheeded, and the announce
ment made as above. All protests against
votes OF members, as recorded OH the day
the joint balloting began under the COM
promise agreement. apply to the ballot
taken to-day, the sixteenth and last of the
series After the announcement of the
vote. Mr.. Gafner (Republican). moved that
the joint convention adjourn until noon to-
morrow. Speaker Sayre put the motion
and declared it carried. What further
action, if any, in the interest of Senator
Harrison will be taken by the Republicans,
has not yet been made known. 1t is under
stood, although not authoritatively an
nounced that the Republican members viii
hold joint convention tomorrow and cast
their ballots for Harrison, thus making up
a formal case for presentation to the United
States senate.
